BRILLIANT AUKoHAL DISPLAY.

The Colorado Hsnvons Made nenutiful by
tho Extremo Cold Prevailing In tho North.
DEsyER, Col., Jan. S.-Colorado skies
were never moro brilliant than yesterday
afternoon and last night. The cold wave
ia striking the Rocky Mountain region,
and the sun and moon have made the
heavens radiant with haloe, au1-dogs and
bright rings Of light. Both during day
and night, hundreds Of people would col
lect here and there in the frosty air, and
with heads thrown bsCk, view the splen-
pdors with which the skies were go bril-
liant. al, n }zsa.7-. w .,ss ID ~,
Yesterday afternoon, at 2:30, when the
sun vas west Of the zsnith, it was observed
to be surrounded by bright ring Of con-
siderable size. Another. very large ring OF
white light, parallel with tho horizon,
passed through the sun, and at the inter
section with the Himilar one about the sun
were two bright dogs, with rainbow colors;;
which we're intensely brilliant. There
were two bright Epots in the large, white
ring at the other two quarters Of the circle,
opposite tho sun.dogs. l5E .El5l
Tho most beautiful feature Of the phen-
omena was a worry. bright and largo cres-
cent, just above the SUI, which was conf.
posed Of bright plismatic colors. There
were Eimilar phenomena round the moon
last night. Thero were two rings OF light
in the heavens, one parallel and the
other perpendicular 10 tha horizon. = The
moon was the center Of the latter, and it
was in the circumferencs OF the other.
Some who have been in the far North say
that the phenomena were like those often

GREATLY SHOCKED.
Father srcclynn not Pleased With Henry

Georges Defeuso Of Him.
NEW YoRK, Jan. s.-The Commercial
Adrertiser this evening says: ut is undsr-
stood that the Rev. DR.. McGlynn is very
mnch shocked by Henry Georges scnsa-
tional article in the Standard. Friends OF
the suspended pnctor Say that the article
in question will innuence him to with.
draw quickly from position that from
the beginning has placed him in faiss
light. The Rev. DR.. Charles McCready is
known as ons Of the most popular priests
in the diocese. LIE ic distantly related to
Dr.. McGlyEn, and is reluctant to accept
the charge from which his friend hss bsen
relieved. This assertion in o morning
paper that DR.. hcCready is already in pos
session Of st. Stephens is untrue.
1T was generally believed In Catholic
circles that Henry Georges letter had
been inspired by Dr.. NcGlynn, and 10
set the matter at rect Q reporter
called on Henry George at his Office this
evening. IN reply to q question .bfr,
George said: "so. ajr, the article was not
inspired by Or. McaiynE. It was written
by me from actual facts in uy possession,
but you may draw your own iuioreuce
whether he knew anything sbout il or not.
l do not think he will leaTe the priesthood
or 20 to Rome either. He has enough
Celtic blood in his veins to Aght his own
battles, and it is preposterous to imagine
that Irish .Catholica will tolerate dictatioa
from the church In everything. In re-
ligion they will, but no further" II

These two men, together with one or

OF tho plot. BY means known only 10
themselves, these men carried on a cor
reepondence with their friendu without,
and were able with the help OF the latter
to connect the plan for liberation. A
number Of email jewelers. saws were con.
veyed into tho hands OF these prisoners,
emugpled in tobacco, bars Of soap, and
